Well no one outside of China and the EUs that play run lower than around 300 ping. I'm sitting on 35MB down and 6MB up with around 15 ping on Miami servers but run TERA with around 400 ping. Low 300s on a good day, low 500s on a bad day.

Or at least have some kinda alliance going on. Get some fun as hell alliance events going on.
Tuesdays event: Join up and slaughter all enemy guilds (members).
Everyone toss some (gil) into a pot, the guild with the most total recorded kills for that day gets it all.

Kinda like XI alliances, cept instead of training corses and elementals we'll be doing the ass-raping ourselves. Claim this side of Tera for ourselves. Toss some gil in there for motivation, bam, you got a good multi-LS event, since aside from battlefields, dungeons etc are small man events?

Is there any world boss camping yet? Equivalent to XI style camping at all?

Have some Priest alts in level 40/45/50/55 range for teleport > promote leader > PK gank for free > become hated > profit.

I think Politics is gonna be big enough reason to have strong guilds here, as opposed to doing everything via shout with pick-ups.

**Deathgazer** · 2011-03-10 02:29

I like that idea.

Are there any 'must-have' classes for PVP? Seems like everytime I decide on a class they alter it in one way or another.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-10 02:38

Sorcerers and Archers are always good due to range. Only difference here is you have a -huge- chance at missing your spells and arrows and wear leather/cloth. Warrior might be one of the better ones(?) with the crit adjustment they're most likely going to put into PVP. Archers, Berserkers, and Sorcerers can one shot Lancers at this point due to the crit imba. Archers' and Berserkers' recovery is slow enough to get hit with immediate bash/knockdown from Lancers or DOT/weight from Priest so it's all in how you play really.

Always nice to have a PVE and PVP job both capped and well geared. Every other alt is just for lore/fun.

**Weltall** · 2011-03-10 10:16

Can you be multiple jobs at all or do you have to level up 2 characters to have a PVE and PVP spec'd? Details on Politics system?

**Eanae** · 2011-03-10 10:35

Take it from experience, any guild/linkshell formed exclusively on BG (obviously not counting the actual BG member guilds) won't last. Warhammer, 2 Aion legions, and the XIV social all died within one to two months of a games release. Granted all these games were awful, but don't get your hopes up very high.

edit: The string of guilds working together would most likely be a much better idea. Regardless, if I buy the game I'm in for a BG community guild if anyone organizes one.

Yeah, at first I was a bit put off by them completely changing Elin when you have two of the other female races running around in thongs, oscillating breasts in full plate armor with pelvic creases and ass cracks clearly visible, but after playing KOBT I think I know which exactly couple of Elin outfits they are going to change. There's plenty of cloth armor for all the races that are essentially dresses with panties, they are probably going to change the Elin ones that show off underwear with your character idle. I still don't understand it 100%, because the way Castanics run and High Elves cast spells, you can see their underwear 100% of the time anyway, but we'll see. They're supposedly only changing a "couple" of the armors, so yeah.

Also when I think of tights in the way they are thinking of changing things, I'm thinking more of shorts, than actually full leg tights. Hopefully they show some info soon though, I know there's alot of angry Elin players out there atm lol.

Its a single race/class system; so you'll have to level another character to play another class. As for 'specing' I beleive PvE and PvP will more determined on skill of actual player rather than a skill selection or gear choice.

Yeah, just 1 class per character, up to 8 characters per account. Politics based on Battleground results cross server and Guild war results cross server. Top guilds gets exclusive faster mounts, EXP perks, gold perks, and the Archons/Lords gets to mess with NPC placement and taxes.

I was thinking since we have a few members here, who already know what the basics of the game are like, we would be able to put a guild together. I, in no way, want to name it BlueGartr, but the fact that we can start off with a guild right off the bat, seeing as how Politics is going to be implemented from the get-go, would be a great idea IMO. This forum is, I would say, 99% more organized than the official and fan sites out there. No mod dick ridin' here without 140+ pages of threads dedicated to stupid shit. I feel more that the people who have contributed in this thread are honestly interested in playing the game when it comes out.

**Anakron** · 2011-03-10 14:12

Where do Slayers fit into group play? I see from the Terafans wiki that they're faster and attack more quickly than Berserkers (but less damage overall?), and wear leather vs plate. But none of those supposed benefits seem really relevant to group play, where I assume both are just straight DDs.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-10 14:23

Yeah, booth are straight DPS jobs right now. Berserkers can plant their Axes on the floor and mitigate damage to just himself, unlike Lancer. Right now, I personally think Berserker is the better job. They're both around the same DPS over time, with Slayer being a bit faster but none of them can hold aggro nearly as well as Warrior or Lancer so when it comes down to it, Berserker has the mitigate damage option that Slayers doesn't.

**Kiarax** · 2011-03-10 14:27

Is there open world pvp? Rogues/assassins/whatever (seems that is what slayer most closely resembles anyway) usually tend to gravitate towards that more than anything. Or they have some assortment of debilitating effects on skills. Kinda silly if both are just pure straight DPS.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-10 14:33

Both are straight DPS, just like DRG/DRK/SAM/MNK/WAR in FFXI. The major thing here is that Slayers offer a huge amount of dodges and rolls and their weapon does extended range damage. Berserkers have a dodge or 2, but don't offer extended range damage(yet?). Yet, they rely on all the knock-down abilities they have. Both are watered down versions of the 2 types of tanks offered, but the 2 strongest melee classes at the same time. One is a more 'picking the guy apart' while the other is more of a 'if I catch you, u ded' type.

Warriors are the duel wielders here with massive amount of dodges and rolls here, if you wanna resemble a job close to Rogue/Sin. Also, paired with Castanics' movement speed while in battle, and 1% crit rate from behind, makes it pretty cool.

e; Yeah, right now, every server is OWPVP post 40(second continent). NA version getting PVE/RP and PVP servers.

**Weltall** · 2011-03-10 14:47

I'm down for PvP or PvE. I prefer PvE endgame content opposed to PvP, but as long as I am with a dedicated group of people who aren't morons, I am good to go.

"RP only" servers havent been confirmed/denied yet, but its assumed all RPers will gravitate to PvE oriented servers over PvP ones anyway.

Yeah, RP as in crafters and lore whores will more than likely stick exclusively to PVE servers, that's why I said PVE/RP. Can RP in any server really, so I never paid too much attention to that.

Good thing about Politics is that it's through Battlegrounds so you can roll PVE or PVP no problem.

I want the BMW guild icon from that one screenshot :O I own one, so <3
